Scientific Background
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the research field of the sustainable urban environment, using digital tools (city information modeling) to assess urban sustainability. I have a background in Architecture and Urbanism, and I've been working with sustainability assessment methods since 2007, both at building and urban scales.
Motivation
Circular economy and urban sustainability have a strong connection. It can be said that a circular economy is a path to achieving urban sustainable development. Taking this into consideration, I can see a great connection between this COST Action and my research, which motivates me in participating in it. I can collaborate with the WG bringing my knowledge, and exchanging experiences and ideas.
Contribution
I have experience in leading integrated design processes, so I can use this past experience in the WG. I also like to work collaboratively and I am a proactive person. Regarding WG 4, I can help with the dissemination and promotion of the Action on social media, like Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.
